Rape appears to be a worryingly common thing in our country. The recent heinous incident of a gang rape of a woman on a running bus in Ashulia has created huge concerns about the safety of women, especially at night. Given this situation, I insist the concerned authorities take every measure against the rapists, and make sure that the rights of women are upheld properly. Maybe then our women and children can lead their lives without fear.
